Sustainable Rate Calculator
If you have run yourself in circles trying to work out how to account for your expenses in your rate…
this is the magic you need!
There are a million rate calculators out there promising that you can just divide your goal income by how many hours you want to work. Simples.
But that is so far from the truth!
On the surface everything looks good. You are working solid hours, clients are happy, money is coming in… but it always feels like there is never enough left at the end of the month.
So you take on a extra client or two because you still aren’t making as much as you hoped. Suddenly things start falling apart… you cant keep up and you edge towards burnout, project timelines get pushed out and slowly but surely client relationships start to be affected.
Enter – the Sustainable Rate Calculator!
Because the solution is not to work yourself to burnout! It is making sure you have a system, structure and pricing strategy in place to make sure your business works for YOU not the other way around. It is time to pay yourself as a priority.
For just $15 I’d say that is worth it.. wouldn’t you?
Why do you need this???
Because your rate is not working!
You forgot to account the time lost on non-billable hours.
You underestimated how much those software subscriptions, business memberships and other expenses add up.
Soon enough you realise that you are actually working for LESS than minimum wage. You put all that work in! And now you are so close to burnout because you can’t actually keep up with the work anyway. Ooops…
You HAVE to know what is in your tech stack and what it costs you. You have to know what the total of all your expenses are so that you can actually set a rate that works. And you have to adjust your calculations to accomadate non-billable hours so you don’t bleed money trying to keep up with admin. This is the basis to a sustainable rate.
Luckily for you I have done the hard work to build a calculator that takes your goals, hours, offers, and expenses to do all the number crunching for you.
What is included?
Your download comes with a workbook to guide you through the process and a fully interactive spreadsheet built with all the smart formulas to take the overwhelm out of crunching the numbers.
This system feels like *magic* and will quite literally transform the way you see your rate. From undercharging clients, not paying yourself and feeling disconnected from your service THIS is the structure that will change everything. With just a few steps you will finally have a rate that accounts for the true cost of running a business, gives you a buffer and sets you up to finally pay yourself.
Step 1: Complete a tech overview audit and assess what your tech is really costing you (and where you might be able to streamline)
Step 2: Map out your income potential and the realistic time investment into those offers
Step 3: Add your financial goals into the rate calculator and watch the magic as it adjusts your rate AND gives you a green light on the services that are viable based on your time and goals
Step 4: Review your Year Overview and add any adjustments of where you expect peaks or dips across the year
Step 5: Add the incoming each month to see how you are tracking AND get automated dispersal calculations!
For more than 18 months I have experimented, tested, tweaked and put as much value into this tool as I could. Because I saw a HUGE issue where business owners just like me ended up making LESS than minimum wage because their rate didn’t really include expenses. Everything looks fine on the surface but slowly those subscriptions, tools and expenses chewed through the incoming finance until it was impossible to pay yourself.
The whole “choose your goal income and divide by how many hours you can spend in your business” doesn’t work! It is what so many people have heard advised from big-name coaches who sell them on the dream of how easy a work-from-home income is. But… it doesn’t work. And it sets people just like you up for disaster.
- It doesn’t count non-billable hours.
- It doesn’t factor in expenses.
- It doesn’t include a portion for tax.
There is a better way.
This tool has savvy formulas built in that calculate and adjust your rate for you.
You get an easy annual overview.
PLUS automated monthly calculations to make distributing your funds between expenses, an allowance for tax AND paying yourself easy.
You work far too hard and invest far too much of yourself creating vision, impact and community to walk away hardly scraping minimum wage.
You deserve so much more.
Start with a rate that finally encompasses a solid tech stack, taxes, team, non-billable time.
